Within asthma research, questions and proposals are often developed by researchers without consideration given to the needs or experiences of tamariki, whānau, community, and health care professionals. We are undertaking an HRC Asthma Activation project that is focused on creating a community engaged research agenda for Tamariki with Asthma. We will utilise a participatory approach consisting of four key activities, Whakawhanaungatanga (relationship building), Arotake taunakitanga (review of the evidence+ initiate current state map), Community Engaged/Priority Setting and Whakawhanake whakatakanga (project development).

We are looking to recruit a Research Assistant who will join our team and assist us in developing and delivering the four key activities of this project.
